Ski and snowboard rental
Ask a ski and snowboard rental operator what breaks and the answer is never the booking form. The constraint here is fitting data captured before the morning of the first ski day.
NO MONTHLY FEE · 4.5% AT CHECKOUT · PAID BY YOUR CUSTOMER
Fitting is the product. Height, weight, boot size and ability set the binding release, and that setting belongs to a person rather than to a pair of skis. Capturing it online the night before is what shortens the morning queue.
Kit comes back wet and edges come back damaged, so a tune sits between return and re-rental. Multi-day hires dominate, which makes availability a question about the whole week rather than a single day.
What the platform does here is narrow and specific. An option at checkout that lets a guest protect their booking, which softens the revenue hit when a cancellation lands late.
The problem it removes: the choice between refunding a guest you want back and keeping money for a slot you cannot re-sell. The number to watch is revenue retained on cancellations inside the notice window.
The guest sees the option at checkout and decides. Taking it puts a protected status on the reservation, which changes what happens when a cancellation arrives inside your notice window.
Guest pays$235.13
Payout$225.00
The fee is added at checkout and paid by your customer, so the payout is your list price.
Bodhisys charges no monthly fee. The platform takes 4.5%, added to each reservation and paid by your customer rather than by you.
Bodhisys is rental operations software for companies that rent things, vehicles and experiences. It was built for rental inventory rather than adapted from a ticketing system, and it has been in market since 2023.
For ski and snowboard shops, an option at checkout that lets a guest protect their booking, which softens the revenue hit when a cancellation lands late.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Bodhisys is younger than FareHarbor and Peek Pro and has a smaller install base. An operator whose revenue is mostly timed tours, or who needs a long list of third-party integrations today, is better served by an incumbent.
A tour flow sells a seat at a time. A rental flow has to capture what leaves, where it goes, when it comes back and who is responsible for it in between.
There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
Yes. Customers, future reservations and booking history migrate from FareHarbor, Peek Pro and Bike Rental Manager.
